WINCHESTER, Va. – No. 23/RV Shenandoah University won its third straight game with a 12-11 non-league victory over Dickinson College Tuesday afternoon.

SU (8-4) took advantage of warm temperatures and a breeze blowing out at Bridgeforth Field to hit three home runs in the first four innings of Dickinson starter Ryan Kramer (1-1).

Senior Tucker Brown had the first and biggest of these three dingers, taking a 3-1 fastball from Kramer and crushing it over the left field fence for a grand slam home run in the bottom of the first.

After DC (2-1) answered with three runs on three hits in the second, junior Joey Donofrio hit a solo shot to lead off the Hornets second and Cory Nelson had a two-run shot to the deepest part of the park in the fourth.

Shenandoah eventually expanded its lead out to 11-4 before the Red Devils chased SU starter Jeff Stanek (2-0) with three runs on three hits in the seventh.
